[QUOTE="Rod Brown, post: 943970, member: 207317"] Kind Sir, What I got from Dr.Barnard is as follows. Muscle cells have surface receptors designed for insulin molecules. When a receptor acquires an insulin molecule, (and here I am in schematic mode to say the least), it sends a "signal" to what I found it convenient for me to liken to the stomata on the underside of a leaf, (O Level general science - which speaks volumes about my venerable years). In similar fashion to the leaf "stomata" cell (which is normally closed to maintain the cell wall integrity), then opens up to permit oxygen & sugar to enter the cell. However one of the many bad results of excess animal fats is to increase drastically the very small number of fat "globules" normally present floating free in our muscle cells which are there to provide energy in emergencies. In similar fashion to the ivy leaves covering my gate control box block my key fob signal to my gate controls; the excessive fat globules block the insulin receptor signals which do not therefore reach the "stomata" cells. Because these are in a "normally closed" condition they then fail to open. Hence the sugar is not taken up from the blood stream resulting "logically" in more insulin being called for & round and round it goes. Overcoming Insulin resistance would seem to be the key to ending T2. Your success with your food choices would seem also to accord with this hypothesis. Anyway, may we, & all others who take note, continue to keep T2 at bay. [/QUOTE]
